When Nigeria have a president
Lovely...this guy has a clear plan to take Nigeria to greater heights. He is very intelligent unlike what the opposition wants us to believe.
This journalist needs training. She has no patience to allow the man talk. Hearing this interview three years after, I have more respect for GEJ.
Logical and clean, he is talking and communicating and not sounding like he wants to sleep like the one we now have
I am still searching for Buhari's LIVE INTERVIEW too!!!!!!
2020
Naija has experienced the change
Now we are experiencing next level
I swear my brother
This is the best of all Mr president's interviews I have watched. Really really flowing here and so articulate.
Nigerians lack vision for have let go of this great gift God sent to us.A man full of vision,wisdom,focus and an articulator to the core (permit me to use this last word) .Shame on those who lobbied him out for their own selfish interest.Those shallow minded people today wants to be identified with him(GEJ) today because those their shortsightedness has failed them.I wish she(Interviewer) had allowed him to speak for himself.I wonder if she was the interviewer of interviewed? GEJ,please NOTE THAT,we miss you so very much and wish you'd forgive us and come back to salvage us from where you stopped.
At that time Jonathan was a failure, but with a Buhari benchmark, he was success. This Buhari adminstration is the worst in the history of Nigeria.
Buhari Buhari Buhari, Nigeria is well, We left this man and took a man who does not like addressing the nation how sad
I think she suddenly realized she was interviewing the President and got scared and intimidated...I can't understand how she kept talking over him... I felt embarrassed for her...
I have confidence in this man now! HE knows his stuff
This is truly down to earth. Let everyone find out every matter concerning the president and the opposition and hold on to the truth. I'm casting my vote for him.
I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT, HE IS VERY ARTICULATE HERE. HE NEEDS A POWERFUL MEDIA TEAM TO LET NIGERIANS KNOW WHAT HE IS UPTO AND DOING.
I hope she will also interview buhari now that the situation is worst in Nigeria
Disappointed that i kept saying shut up and let the president speak, i was surprised that Jonathan did not shut her up. He is a kind and polite president.
she was so blown away and kept repeating the Abuja invitation that Jonathan casully mentioned. GEJ 2015.
exactly
She can’t do this to our ex president or buhari
NOTE:President Good luck Ebele Jonathan's transformation agenda is the beginning of the positive transformation Nigeria needs as a country{for those who really see}. All we need do as individuals in this corruption swollen country is to work on our selves and work with the transformation of the country.
He said nothing is to equal to blood of nigeria.He cannot use violence to get to power.He did just that.
A good Nigerian
While you were in office, I helped you in all capacities, stayed up all nights, working with you. There was nothing you asked for, that I did not provide, knowing how much I love Nigeria.
The point i always make is that though Jonathan is not the best for the Presidency of Nigeria but Buhari will be worse than Jonathan..He have no audacity to vie for the top office.
It's clear to everyone now even fv father mbaka can tell
Respect mr president.
I have always seen this interviewer as professional. Don't know why she behaved this way in this interview, taking words from him, explaining his point of view, not seeming to be critical of her questions and no follow ups. It is as if she is encouraging and advertising him rather than interviewing him.
Dnt seem to understand d unprofessionalism whenever a public figure is interviewed...
Nas El. I my exact thoughts, i'm dissappointed, apparently she is very overrated.
Mr present is right in this aspect
Your team is doing their job now but i hope this is not too late.
Hi Mo, good interview addressing key points, however, I think u should allow the President answer the questions after you have asked them. Its a more cordial way and we would be able to know the real in-depth of his knowledge on the highlighted issues. thanks.
Naira is 200 to 1 dollar... and we were complaining so CHANGE finally came.. now it's 350 to 1 dollar wtf! who votes for this people !!
ifeanyi nwachukuw y’all voted 🗳 them
Now it's 500 naira
@@lasmitcas3847 😭
Oh my God! Can this woman just shut up and let the President speak?
Are you just gonna allow the interviewee speak???
I have nothing against the president yeah since all the questions are on his favor yes he got the right to answer them smoothly, and also since so call journalist even helpful with answers bravo mr president. Leanson to lean is next time go to the international community like London, France, the USA even hahaha ghana, trust me you will be answering TOUGH questions. She is not a journalist.
What we should be worried about are the rotten eggs in the system,the green snakes in the green grass that would go to any length to see they frustrate the good intentions and good plans ours president is putting up for us{NIGERIA GO BETTER.}
Is this an interview or an interaction with the president?
This is more of a cheering up session than an interview...She won't even stop interrupting him ...
Hope it's better now, right??? Israel rejected a leader and asked for a ruler. Then, the Almighty God l gave them a ruler who led them to destruction.
This is your story today, Nigerians!!!!
Good interview could have been better interview, the journalist needs to work on her interview skills, not interrupting her guest, not be judgmental and not putting words in their mouth, though I am no fan of President Jonathan either several times I had to mute the volume just because the journalist interrupted and interjected too much.
AWESOME!
Let give.some.credit
I didn't know Nigeria has pretty women like the interviewer
young lady why the noding? why the unnecessary interruption. I sensed nervousness.
Walahi Ms Mo was very rude in this interview. Finishing Mr presdent's words is rude. Even cutting the man in the middle of sentences to help him make a point clearer and subsequently changing the question. Really? Where has respect and decorum gone to?
I swear. She didn't understand what presidential interview was, inevitably she was rude.
JOY AMA these thing are done elsewhere remember this lady here studied in the uk, go to an interview at cnn hard core n see what happens to u there
Why couldnt she allow him explain himself. Rather than interrupting him every now and then, making him look like a child.. Totally unprofessional if you ask me.
My personal observation is that, she constantly interrupt the conversation making it difficult for the president to provide more detail on the subjects discussed. It may be rude. She'd lost the opportunity to capture and highlight key contributions where necessary. ..Not very professional!
9ja don too fuck up
see better luck wey dem trowe
no b lie it will b difficult 4 dem to get dis luck again
So unprofessional in my opinion..She is not even allowing him to finish answering the questions before she starts talking over him ..she really lacks the qualities of a professional journalist. What a joke..if she was interviewing Obama would she be talking over him like that . In my opinion it was very poor
Mo Abudu should allow her Guest to speak and enlighten her Audience. She interjects and interrupts a lot. She should be advised on this.
Very funny interview,who is Diezani's BF ?? Where is the stolen money and who enabled it?? How can you fight corruption when you are the most corrupt !!
Mo Abudu I guess U re suppose to be a professional journalist but you didn't present yourself as one.My candid advice to you is to compose yourself and control your gesture each time you re with a public figure like the present your presentation in this interview is unprofessional. Y putting words in d president mouth you ve collected your national cake pls check yourself and kip doing good job.
That's the thing, she is NOT a journalist with no JOURNALISTIC background... just a lucky woman who has plenty money and feels she can afford to be on television... not surprised she did a shoddy job here
Your success was working trains ....ok
Lol this woman. She just keeps talking over him
why does she keep interrupting him though?
this is a disgrace..total waste of 31 minutes and 27 seconds..she should never call herself a journalist again...cant even allow the man talk..making Jonathan sound smart
I thought I read an article published by CNN sometime last year about this woman as the "Oprah of Africa" but with her compositional body language and professionalism here it is far contrary to the reality. To interview a president could be an exciting moment but does she have to lose it all and by the way why do they always ask him the same questions people already knows what the responds would be like as "the goats and the yams" the 20th century moving train and why did she euphorically excited for the invitation to the States house for an elaborated interview eh! and why GEJ is never steadfast to give conclusive details on his achievements. However the title of this video is not befitting in consideration to this interview for many reasons to my own point of view if recapitulating the so-called presidential media chat except of a change in the location and reducing the numbers of interrogators there is nothing here that got down to earth except of we are all used to mediocrity and it has almost become the norm within the Nigerian society.
once we get dat security thing sorted out
JAME MANGA .
I have a bank account, in Nigeria and in USA, I am still waiting for you to pay me. I was almost killed at a recreation center campaigning for your re-election in 2011. Haba!!!
Is this really an interview?
Very unfortunate. This interview (or more appropriate, charade) is an embarrasment to Journalism and all decent news followers.
It's funny how 200 naira been 1 dollar was a question and currently it's swinging from 460-600 yet no question
Please help me ask Yuroba media ooo... Apologies to the average Yuroba man or woman on the street; but we must tell ourselves the bitter truth.
THE TRUTH IS THAT YUROBA MEDIA DISCREDITED EVERY EFFORT OF GEJ THROUGHOUT HIS TENURE AS A PRESIDENT USING PROPAGANDAS.
But non of them can talk now!
Osibanjo is even saying that he would Start from where PMB stopped - a clear explanation that the vice President doesn't even understand what a good governance means or he's playing politics with the lives of Nigerians.
about 750 now
Over a thousand now we are jokers in this country
Is this Lady a Journalist or just someone who wants proximity with a very powerful politician. I just wasted my time watching this sexy lady. Why is she laughing and smiling.
Was this an interview?
I don't always get it ....
Its a privilege to interview the president but Mo Abudu needs to be professional, she was highly intrusive & leading
The president has some achievements but lots of baggage, monumental insecurity & galloping corruption
Our president lied to Amanpour that we had electricity
Now he lies about longest coast in Africa, pls check the map for countries that have much longer coasts than ours, Malawi, South Africa, Madagascar, Libya, Egypt, Angola, Namibia
Let Mr President talk, please.
(stop interrupting him!)
Aunty Mo wee you keep quiet! damn
Do not put criminals behind bars. You would not get the money they stole. Ask them to build something, a factory and hire Nigerian workers. The load of Nigerians is not just for one person to carry. it would overwhelm that person. Last time we communicated in 2013, you told me that I would lose my freedom. Please, stop grounding me. I want to be free. My look-alike, your wife, Dame-P had made away with all the money, using me. Where is my share? Do not kill me for asking, bikonu!
Can you let him speak..............
President GEJ, I stayed up for years working with you, how much did you pay me in NGN or in USD? I directed you well when President Yar'Dua passed on. Where is my paycheck? You owe me a lot! Where is the flat you promised me? Where is the land I asked for to be developed? I need them all now. All I got was few fresh fish to eat.
Who are you?
First to comment
And so ?
9erian likes title, sha. Is it necessary to make an introduction with a long title.
Make she allow the guy talk
President GEJ, I , single-handedly gave you one of my personal email addresses to use. You made billions of NGN, where is my share? You are still using it. All my connections? All I could get from your wife was name-calling!
we getting close to dat time were , who give u PhD
Since when do interviewers nod their heads signalling agreement to the points being made? and since when do interviewers help interviewees buttress their points? .....thought she is supposed to be unbiased, or was there a memo before this interview we dint get?....... THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW....!!!...........I did not even finish seeing it...
This interview is so unprofessional. Let the guy talk.. Just showing how unintelligent he is .. ah han.. is Mo working for APC ni?
Jonathan is a mumu...Nigeria does not have the longest coastline in Africa. Nigeria is not even among the 10 countries with the longest coastline in Africa.
Very poor interviewer. Now as for the" president".....sigh!
Can she stop interrupting the man. this is a really bad interview. voicing over each other and all
"I hope you don't think i'm harassing you Mr. President" Seriously? Is this a therapy session or an interview?
Mo has been an excellent interviewer for years but i guess or it seems as if she was nervous at this time , hence her jumping in and making the President nervous is not right. It makes it look like you are arguing with a colleague but this is the President. Cenould it be because she found herself interviewing Baba at her home state in Ondo heighen the whole process.Mr President , i laughed when you mention yam again in 21.,40,also i like when he said ,"'im coming mg to that 2 to stop MO in her tract and allow him to talk in 23.24
jer to p...tstateaand
I think the interview should be reviewd and a more calmer one should be done ,allowing MO to anchor but more calm and less intrusive.
Above all MO did well and blame her for a wrong out of 100s of successeswain e cant blame her

One of the key arguments the Conservative party of Britain used in their campaign against the recent past Labor party government was excess government borrowings and spending. Today, evidently, it seams the Conservative government followed the same pattern of borrowing and spending and may have even borrowed, in a short time, more than what the Labor government borrowed in thirteen (13) years. Britain’s current national debt is over £1.3 Trillion and rising, which is about 88.2% of UK GDP.
One of the key arguments of the U.S.A Democratic party campaign against the recent past Republican government was irresponsible borrowing and spending. Today, evidently, its seamed the Democratic government followed the same pattern of borrowing and spending because the U.S.A. national debt is over $18.113 Trillion and rising, which is about 102% of U.S.A GDP.
Austerity measures are usually the slogan of politicians until they get in office. Then they continue in the footstep of the previous government. This reason is obvious. It is inevitable. Government improvement agenda cannot avoid spending. Except of course the government want to leave the society in a very unattractive state for investors and industrialists. Investments and industries is what powers up the economy of a country. As investments increases, more industries emerge. As more industries emerge, the GDP of the country grows. As the GDP of the country grows, government fiscal revenue increases. As government revenue increases, so does the country assets and reserves. As the country assets and reserves increases, so does the country economy and currency.
The resent devaluation of Nigeria currency as a result of the drop in crude oil Brent price just tells Nigerians that the country is still relying on one sector (petroleum) as its main source of revenue. This is appalling. Nigeria currently sitting on a national debt, which is about 9.2% of its current GDP, has a healthy opportunity for growth. In my opinion the downfall of crude oil Brent price is not a set back for Nigeria. Instead the Nigeria government must consider it a unique opportunity to go back to the drawing board. The Western societies are exploring self-sustainability and increasingly abandoning fossil fuel and considering alternative energy. The future is gradually unveiling itself. Will Nigeria petroleum trading still be in global market? Nigeria government should reduce its use and dependence on that economic sector and activate all other industries and government fiscal revenue generating sources in Nigeria, which in my review has the capacity to generate far more revenue in a year than what the petroleum industry has given Nigeria in the twenty five years.
EbonyLife TV Biko tell your CEO to learn to allow her interviewees answer her questions fully before saying a word?
Why is speaking over him?
I could barely hear him.
Na wa all the hype n this?
I almost pity GEJ in this interview he was practically struggling to get a word in... he almost sounds intelligent too...ALMOST
How does buhari sound now?
I dislike Nigerians becoming expert critics. Don't forget that MO has interviewed Hillary Clinton,Babangida just to mention a fee and viewing such interview will justify that she is a core professional. But so many things could be going on in the background , the ambience and this interview setting. She obviously one this very rare occasion has acted out of character. Obviously, MO was nervous and on the edge here the reasons which is clear only to her.
It was an election period and she could have been warned to act aggressive but covertly make the President look good. But this is not the MO we know. She came across,nervous, very tense and at some point ,her breathing was laboured.
Honestly this girl is shame
I remain silent...
Thanks, you CEO of EBONY from ONDO-STATE, you've done so well the conduct of the interview, the decor and lieu is more than excellent. Bravo lady sister.
Franckly speaking, this is one of the Best of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the major host exceed in all facete of Public Politic of interview. I don't know her but she exceed to the statut of Abimbola Coker of past year and the trip of Nelly Mbamtogun, if my spelling is right and good. I coded the TWO and let us be hoping we are moving and walk though slow and slowly, but getting it right.
Why has the President not address the question raised about the current dollar rate in the Exchange Market?
Your beclouded wicked sentiments Would not let your eyes year the answers nah... Leave your wickedness and you will certainly hear!!!
I HOPE THE NAIRA IS #100 NOW???
MUMU!!!
This interviewer needs substantive training on interview style and manner, particularly when it involves a VIP like the president of a nation.
Was he in Jupiter before?
why is she advertising the nigerian version of gbado
This lady pls shut up! This is horrible! Allow the president to talk for God's sake. SMH!
We lost your dignity Sir!
I wouldn't blame her for this obvious unprofessionalism displayed! I could see she was being censored and was clearly under surveillance. This was not a real interviewing environment. I could see an environment where the tone around her was "rubbish our Presido and come out to smell pepper or caress him and come out to get rewarded!". Seeing Okupe, some presidency officials and a soldier earlier parading themselves, I could sense a serious warning had gone forth to her. And as we know our President as a cheerful donor of US Dollars, a good sum of USD could have gone out earlier, so why wouldn't she speak for the President. I hardly heard the man's voice almost throughout the so-called interview. She doubled as the interviewer and the interviewee. In fact, we need to ask them if this was a real interview or a campaign script!
I hope it's better now???? Idiot Amechi group, Sentimental Yuroba media or agent of the Islamic caliphate!!!!
You can NOT escape this 3 enemies of Nigerian future!
HOW FAR NAH... IS IT BETTER??
IDIOT!!!
The problem with the president Jonathan led administration is that they don't care about what private industries do to we workers, mostly Indian companies and Abu Dhabi companies, I work in a company which provides telecoms services that make billions in dollars but my salary is 70k for the past 2 years and till date I am a contract staff. And a new entry in a bank earns 140k to 180k, same contract staff and when confirmed earns more. Please this salary discrepancies should be addressed becos it spells doom to government efforts on employment and standards of living.
And the award for the most UNPROFESSIONAL SHODDIEST INTERVIEW EVER GIVEN GOES TO MO ABUDU... This is what happens when people with plenty money think they should be on TV instead of investing in REAL professionals to get the job done. RUBBISH...
teleguided interview, was this lady interviewer bribed, or vetted on questions to ask or she is an outright supporter of GEJ. poor journalism. it would have been a nice interview if she said nothing but just ask questions. each time i watch this crap my stomach churns. poor job EL SPECIAL. take this down it belongs in the garbage can.
President Goodluck Jonathan! lolol
Your PR, media people messed u up that is why people did not see what u did
YOU COULD HAVE INTERVIEWED YOURSELF !!! IF U HAVE 2 DO THE TALKING ALL ALONE. Shamefull and tasteless
Mo is just too unprofessional in this interview. This definitely shows that they both had a brief before the recorded interview.
Hahaha 😂 Nigerians rejected this man and voted Buhari and want to reject Peter Obi for Tinubu una never suffer finish
Why is the interviewer's face green?
This interviewer is unprofessional and rude in manners when it comes to interviewing the president.
Vulgar and tactless in her approach.
You are not allowing the president to speak you lack the listening skills.go away jo
